I find eumovate is fantastic, emollients are better, don't use the steroid cream too much as this can do more harm than good, it can really weaken the skin and make it extremely sensitive, also find out if you have an allergy to anything , this could also be antagonising your eczema, aqueous is a great moisteriser, perfect for the head and face, very gentle and non greasy.
